Is it true that standardized test scores predict students' later college grades?
Unclear. Several studies report that standardized test scores predict college grades, but each covers only a narrower population or period: Ivy-Plus first-year grades, ninth-grade teacher grades, or one Philippine university's first-year students. No retrieved item establishes the general claim that standardized test scores predict students' later college grades across contexts.
